However, Zhang Mu did not agree. He had worked in the game industry for many years and knew that big companies were cold-blooded and heartless. Although the acquisition sounded nice, once the acquisition was completed, it was very likely that they would be doomed.
He would either give the development team all kinds of harsh conditions and request them to modify the game content to achieve the goal of higher profits, or he would simply split the entire game team and include some of the company’s own people. In the end, the direction of the game would not be controlled by him. There were even more dark methods. Zhang Mu had seen and heard of them before. He did not want his hard work to be wasted.
However, another important member of the main creative team, Zhou Kai, didn’t think so.
He was young and inexperienced. He was looking forward to relying on a big company to make the game famous. The acquisition of the game would allow the main creator to obtain huge benefits and also allow him to enter the big company that had rejected him. It was the best opportunity to wash away his past humiliation. He was unwilling to let it go.
A huge conflict broke out between them. Zhang Mu had been trying to communicate with Zhou Kai, while Zhou Kai was persistent in acquiring the items.
The big companies were pressing for more time to acquire the company, and the conditions were getting more and more generous. Under such pressure and obsession, Zhou Kai made a terrifying decision.
On that day, Zhang Mu had a fever due to continuous fatigue for several days. He went to the hospital to get an IV drip, and Zhou Kai went to visit him. Not long after Zhou Kai left, Zhang Mu fell asleep due to exhaustion.
He didn’t realize that there was something wrong with the fluid on the IV drip. When the nurse came to check, Zhang Mu had already suffered from heart failure because of the wrong fluid.
The hospital sent him to the ICU and tried their best to save him, but there was nothing they could do.
After the incident, the court thought that this was a major medical accident caused by the hospital’s negligence. They arrested several people in charge, fired several high-level officials, and compensated Zhang Mu’s family a large sum of money.
However, Zhang Mu would never return.
His dream of playing the game would forever remain at that moment.
As the second-in-charge, Zhou Kai took over the entire project and presided over the acquisition. He was regarded by the members of the project team as a savior who valued relationships and loyalty. As expected, this game project became popular with the support of the large company’s resources.
The players would reminisce about the former developer and regret that he hadn’t witnessed the happy ending of the game. However, most of them only remembered that the main creator of the game was Zhou Kai.
“Back then…” Back then, he even pretended to come to the funeral and said a bunch of nostalgic words in front of me. Heh,” Li Xue recalled, and she laughed coldly as she cried.” I actually believed it, I really believed it!” I know that Huan Yu is Zhang Mu’s blood and sweat, so I hope that someone can fulfill Zhang Mu’s dream. I actually thought that Zhou Kai was the most suitable person! He handed over the game…”
“In the end, it was only when I found this crooked method and forcefully kept Zhang Mu’s soul in front of the seventh day that I realized…He’s the biggest murderer!” Li Xue was so agitated that she panted heavily.” I want to sue him, but I don’t have any evidence…” I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I didn’t make this matter public. I really didn’t expect that not only did he want to kill people, but he also wanted to find people’s souls and burn them to ashes!” “…”Bu Yu was already so shocked that he couldn’t speak.
‘ So, the person who barged in initially was actually someone Zhou Kai hired to continue searching for Zhang Mu’s remnant soul?” Ji Jing suddenly understood.” And you discovered that once they enter this world, you can deceive their consciousness. You can use this opportunity to make them become believers and let the power of faith nourish Zhang Mu’s soul.” “You’re really smart.” Li Xue let out a cold smile, as if she had tacitly agreed.
“But, Xue ‘er, the situation is no longer under our control.” Zhang Mu sighed and tightly held Li Xue’s trembling hand.
” Once the entrance to the ghost realm is opened, it will inevitably be out of control, especially with the power of faith.” The female ghost’s tone was rarely gentle.
“Although you only wanted to deal with the few people who came to kill you at the beginning, other players could suddenly enter without you knowing, right? You don’t want to involve innocent people, but you can’t refuse. This was because the soul of the person you loved the most not only became weaker and weaker due to the passage of time, but also became stronger and stronger under the blessing of faith. They even regained their physical form.. It was like a miracle of resurrection…Am I right?”
